Sophie (Carlee Ingelito, Ridley Park) dreams of a perfect wedding, one in which her father gives her away. The problem is she doesn't know who her father is and her mother Donna (Deidre Henry, West Chester) refuses to talk about her past. Sophie is resolute and steals her mother's diary and finds three possible fathers; Sam (John Paul Cappielo, Drexel Hill), Harry (Tim Whelan, Wilmington, Del.) and Bill (Jason S. Tokarski, Wilmington, Del.). Sophie secretly invites all three to her wedding leading to unexpected results. Non-stop laughs and explosive dance numbers will have audiences singing and dancing in the aisles to many familiar songs.
Mamma Mia is an enchanting trip down the aisle audiences will never forget.
